Have you seen the effects of Aspiration Failure?

About the Social Bunny - do your sims cry when he arrives?
I remember the Sad Clown from TS1, which made all the sims cry and be sad.
In TS2 I never gave my sims to have aspiration failure. I saw once Cassandra, after being left at the altar, playing with some doll, and a shrink came to give her a treatment - twice. But I left the house without saving, thinking how to prevent this situation (I found a good solution for this).
No, they don't cry. They either go about their business doing what you've directed them to do, and the bunny will sit or stand quietly amusing himself. Your sim may choose to interact with the bunny or you can direct him to do any of several interactions. The bunny leaves by himself once the sim's social is repaired. It's funny when the bunny comes crashing out of the sky though, although the noise startled me a couple of times. It's funny too that the other sims cannot see the bunny, so when they see the sim interacting with someone who isn't there, they make the "You're Crazy" sign at him when they pass by.
With Cassandra, the solution for me was either to get her relationship high enough with Don that he would not leave her at the altar, or to raise her aspiration to platinum so that his rejection would not send her into aspirational failure. It would have to be pretty high because being left at the altar carries a huge aspiration hit. Or ignore the scenario altogether. I didn't want her to marry him anyway. She deserved better than him. My Cassandra married a custom Sim I made and had lots of babies. She is very pretty in my opinion once you get rid of those hideous ponytails and glasses and put on some makeup.

I just ignore it and let them see the bunny. Relaxing and daydreaming is a waste of valuable productive time, and a well-designed house doesn't tend to suffer severe obstructions from one bunny.
Well, not REALLY in the way. Just in My way. And the relax/daydream is rarely used. Just think the name "social bunny" is too cutesey for me. Kind of like calling a hooded sweatshirt a "hoodie". Yuck! What drivel.

I hope we're going to get Bunny Hunters, as we did Clown Catchers in TS1. They should be short, balding, illtempered guys called 'Elmer'.

Oh, rainbow - that's just what I have done too! I created a beautiful male sim, befriended them, and then made them fall in love. Then I invited Don, and gave Cassie cheat on him with the new lover. Don broke the engagement, but it didn't hurt her a bit (although she cried a little bit) - but right after that she wanted to be engaged and married to the new sim.
"Collective mind"...:).
J. M. Pescado:
Bunny Hunters wouldn't make any sense. Because there isn't any actual bunny, he's purely imaginary. And also nondisruptive and actually beneficial, since it suppresses any further whines.
